3-BENZOFURANCARBOXYLIC ACID, 2-METHYL-

Description:

3-Benzofurancarboxylic acid, 2-methyl- (CAS 3265-74-5) is an organic compound characterized by its benzofuran structure, which consists of a fused benzene and furan ring. This compound features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at the 3-position and a methyl group (-CH3) at the 2-position of the benzofuran ring. It is typically a white to off-white solid, and its solubility can vary depending on the solvent, often being more soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the carboxylic acid group. The compound may exhibit acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification or amidation. Additionally, it may have applications in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry, given the biological relevance of benzofuran derivatives. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

2-Methyl-1-benzofuran-3-carboxylic acid

CAS: 3265-74-5

2-Methyl-1-benzofuran-3-carboxylic acid is a type of carboxylic acid that is cytotoxic to cancer cells. It is a major metabolite of the anticancer drug 2,4,5-trimethoxybenzaldehyde and has been shown to be effective against human breast cancer cells. The ester hydrochloride salt form of this compound has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of esterase activity in vitro. This inhibition leads to increased accumulation of 2-methyl-1-benzofuran-3-carboxylic acid in tumor tissue, which may be due to its ability to inhibit the synthesis of proteins required for the transport and metabolism of other drugs. The x-ray structure analysis revealed that this compound binds to the active site of beta lactamases in an orientation that overlaps with substrate binding sites. This binding prevents the formation of a covalent bond between penicillin G
